Empowering Communities: Take part in the Big Lunch 2010 and get to know your neighbours

The Big Lunch is calling on all neighbourhoods and communities across the UK to come together on Sunday 18th July. Events around the nation are taking shape from simple tea parties in back gardens to large street parties for the whole neighbourhood.

Last year, the first Big Lunch saw the best part of a million people come together, hosting events ranging from simple back garden barbecues to full-on street parties with entertainment, games, food, music and bunting that quite literally stopped traffic. This year, The Big Lunch is encouraging millions more to join forces and knock on the door of their neighbour, say hello and invite them for lunch. 

The Big Lunch is led by the Eden Project with the support of a family of partners, The Big Lottery Fund, MasterCard, EDF Energy and the Department of Communities and Local Government who all want to break down barriers and build bridges within neighbourhoods through The Big Lunch 2010.
